As is clear from the above description, according to the automatic press working method of the present invention, it is possible to produce precise inner gears and outer gears, and it is not necessary to use a transfer device or the like. Since only one press device is required and gears can be processed by the progressive die, it is advantageous in terms of equipment costs. In addition, the plate material of the material from which the gears (the inner gear and the outer gear) are returned is fed forward, and the gear is removed from the material plate at the next processing position, so that a precise gear can be obtained in a series of press working steps. Therefore, productivity is also improved.
